"George Mattson invited me over to take a look at his new sequencer. I had some camera gear in my car and he said it was ok to take some pictures. He didn't say "moving pictures" exactly . . . but that's what took place! ;-) If this video, or I, disappear suddenly, you'll know he was not pleased!"

Jupiter-8, Juno-60, TR-707 - 1980s style

YouTube Published on Jul 28, 2012 by SynthManiaDotCom

"An '80s synth / dark improvisation in my style utilizing mostly early '80s Roland synths. I'm using a few "live" performance techniques like acting on the synth volumes and filters in real time. The verses are a bit "straight" but the choruses have a good chord progression and sound nice (if a bit melancholic) with the huge, magic, silky string sound of the JP-8, and the electric bass following on the high notes, wait for them ;-)
Roland Jupiter-8 = octave arpeggio synth bass, strings, pad, lead
Roland Juno-60 = pad
Roland TR-707 = drums, arpeggio sync
Fender Jazz = electric bass
Fender Stratocaster = electric guitar
Roland M-10DX = submixing, reverbs, echoes
Cakewalk Sonar X1 PE = recording, effects, compression"

Synth Magic FZED for Kontakt from a CASIO FZ-1

YouTube Published on Jul 28, 2012 by SPFXsynthesisers

"Kontakt instrument which uses sounds I have created over decades of owning a CASIO FZ-1 sampler.
During my use of a FZ-1 I have sampled lots of classic drum synths/drum machines, synthesisers and odd ball synths.
This is nearly a GIG of gritty drum sounds, classic analogue synths, strings, pads, stabs, choral sounds, 80's drums, dance sounds, 80's breathy synth sounds, clangs and all kinds of great sounds all mapped into Kontakt with a GUI front and 200 presets to get you're musical adventures going.
All samples are loaded at the same time and selected by a simple drop down menu-This allows for quick and easy access to the sounds.

Perfect for all kinds of electronic music production from New wave, Depeche Mode type tracks, old skool rave, Boards of canada, TRS-80, M83, John Foxx, Numan.

Diva tutorial 03 - Brass Bounce

YouTube Published on Jul 28, 2012 by uheplugins

"The third in a series of bite-sized tutorials aimed at users of u-he's latest synthesizer, Diva. The sounds made in this video certainly won't be to everyone's taste - they're all typical old synthbrass! However, the point is to show several different methods of getting similar results, even with a limited set of modules.

So let's bounce...

Method 1 starts with the usual synthbrass settings, but we soon run into the problem of not having enough envelopes for VCA, VCF cutoff, and pitch modulation at the beginning of each not. So LFO2 is used for cutoff, freeing up envelope 2 for pitch modulation.

Method 2 reverts to the usual envelope 2 for cutoff. The LFO takes over for pitch modulation, but in a special way: LFO2's delay parameter ramps down to the bottom of a square wave (set to minimum rate so it won't cycle). Note that the pitch modulation is also negative -- a minus times a minus is a plus.

Method 3 is probably the most interesting one because it uses neither envelope 2 nor LFO 2 for the pitch. Instead, the Gate signal (i.e. note on/off from your keyboard) is lagged, resulting in a smooth attack. And (fortunately or unfortunately) an equally smooth release... but there's a little surprise at the end.

Take home message: Just like classic analogue polysynths, Diva expects you to make the most of a limited set of synth modules!"
